I have started scouting for a new job ever since this protracted thriller/horror “death by thousand cuts” started. I’ve had several interviews, some job offers, but nothing really that would make me quit right now. I can confirm that there are jobs... — read more

This screams mismanagement and exceptional cruelty. I am sorry now that I spent so many years working here. None of us have ever been valued or paid enough, and now we are being treated and discarded like office supplies. For months now, and for god... — read more

I am on the fence whether I want to be laid off or hoping to keep the job. I have too much of a financial burden in my life, and the cost of living just goes up. I also expect everything to get worse, from the job market to the ability to sustain... — read more 

"Make no mistake about it, you work for a financially strong company." - Nielsen Leaders. But we're STILL going to lay you off.

Comscore? Specific Nielsen customers or clients? Confirmed that the severance was reduced to 1 week per year of service. I downloaded contacts to my phone and am writing my 'farewell' email this weekend so I can hit send from my drafts when my... — read more 

Nielsen has a cold heart. To them, my life isn't even worth 20K.

If the ELT wanted to prove they care about employees and don't see us as anything but numbers, they could all take a pay cut and - considering how high their compensation packages are - immediately reduce the need for layoffs. Not that something like... — read more 

You can see it every day. There is obviously no clear idea of reorg. They are coming up with new names every day. We have no clue who’s next, based on which criteria, and how long this is going to last. Well managed, all of it.

My manager told me there is a town hall for the ROC today where they will talk about layoffs. Is that true?

Love how in the new q&a in the newsletter they say that offshoring all of our jobs is because there's so many good talented people overseas and not anything to do with how little it costs to hire them. Nielsen is a healthy company don't you know. ... — read more 

I'm not sure this is even news anymore, but I overheard a manger in my group say they have official word on who is getting axed next. I'm guessing that means the lay offs will be in the next few days. I'm in analytics in the US.

I've heard some conflicting info, such as commercial teams not getting any 4th quarter '23 SIP bonus, and AIP-eligible employees getting paid out on March 15th but yet without any detail on the % payout. I've asked the HR person multiple times for... — read more

If Nielsen was threatened to be broken up prior to internet ratings and expanding globally. Shouldn’t it definitely be considered a Conglomerate now? Keep U.S. ratings in the U.S., I know families don’t watch this overrated junk and sticks to... — read more 

This is the most sadistic organization that ever existed. They say that all of the employees will be let go and now they sit and watch the people have anxiety for months. They couldn't do it sooner because I bet they enjoy this. I wish them all the... — read more 

Townhall was just a contradiction, at every turn. “We value our employees“, “we are looking to modernization“, I think we all know that means they are going to try to engage more AI and remote recruiters instead of having MR’s and FRS in the field I... — read more 

Several years ago one of the most important projects was basically moved to Slovenia and of course, we lost ground to our competitors. What do you think it will happen when all the teams are moved to one of the new GCCs? This company has been... — read more 

Could we all go on strike? I'm so over this. Then they'll see who actually does the work. Spoiler alert: it's not the leadership team.

I left Nielsen some time ago, and was fortunate to land a decent job. I see that you all are going through quite a mess now. I can’t say I am surprised. Once you leave that place, your perspective will change, trust me. There are other opportunities... — read more 

If your job can be done by somebody in an LCC, your job will be moved to an LCC.

Basically this is what happened. I was asked to take on the responsibilities of somebody who was recently let go and given very little training on the processes they handle. All of the expertise in this client and the special considerations around... — read more

Is is possible that Nielsen is planning the remove the visa workers (people on H1B, TN, etc.)? Does anyone have any info on this?

Tell me one good thing they did in the last several years.

Was it all a dream, or were both the original post about nepotism in the Malaysia(?) office and the follow up post after the original was deleted, deleted?
